JACK IS BACK, et al

 

My one little Halloween quilt is
hanging out on my 
Grand-mere's old dresser
this year...

Lizzy and I 
both made these last year...
What fun:))))
I L💛VE  
my Jack!!

[Click on Lizzy and go see her
Jack--so cute, too!!]
👻👻👻

I think this year I'd like to make some 
kind of Spooky House--
I am looking around blogger
and Youtube to see what
catches my fancy--or
perhaps I'll just 
make my own...????

****************************
"Sunrise Sunset: is coming along
I did a few more 1/2 sq triangles this morning with my coffee....
This is really a fun hand quilting project...
A N D ......
I hope to get on with my Easter piece today as my
shoulder/neck connection seems a lot better...
This block is quilted and I will work on
finishing up this one below--

I have to go so slowly....
Evidently keeping my lines straight
is a real challenge for me...
A N D .....
I will TRY to keep my shoulders from
"kissing" my ears...👹👽👿!!!
***********************
FYI: for those of you interested
in my Winter Rye planting....
↴↴↴↴↴
As you can see, it is starting to come
up and seems to be flourishing...
😀😁😂😃😄
It will be turned over into the soil
next Spring to improve it;
and my understanding is 
that the rye will give 
the soil extra nitrogen.

My little parsley plant is still going strong
despite our temps falling to 42 degrees
this morning...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Here is my latest and final
iteration of my "Ocean" page
(page 5) 
for my Anniversary Journal
book....
The landscape picture is almost exactly what our Town beach looks like:
"McCook Point Park"...
what a great find this was...;)))

Each Summer, our two children would go for swimming
lessons when they were young and in later years I and my
two close neighbor friends and their children would
go to the beach almost every day...

We even loved cloudy and/or foggy weathers...
for then we had the 
beach all to ourselves...
sitting and listening to the fog horns off shore
and hearing the waves...
SO RELAXING....
Ah, what fun times  we had
and what wonderful memories...

@@@@@@@@@@@@

I hope you are enjoying these wonderfully
cool, sunny days
 before Winter sets in...

Hugs to all,
Julierose,

STARS X2, et al

 

I put the 2nd block together this morning and
set up the next two whole blocks...

I am debating whether to make 2 or 4 more...
I have enough to make 6 in total...and
I do like how the diamond
shape is emerging 
in the center a lot...
Six vertically would make 
a lovely table runner
with borders...
Stay tuned...;)))
***********************
Le Chef Tom is making his
 Tuna Noodle casserole
for us for dinner today;
I will provide the sliced tomatoes
and cucumbers...along with
applesauce for the sides.

*************************
Meanwhile, 
 we will be watching Formula One from
Azerbaijan which is the "Quali" today.

(short for qualifying for first position for
the race tomorrow--called 
"Pole position"--
much desired for obvious reasons)

And I hope to do some more quilting
on Sunrise, Sunset...this afternoon...
while watching.
I have 
completed the two blocks
the middle row above--↑↑↑↑
and begun 
↧↧↧↧
working my way around the next center strippy block..
**************************
We have been having a run of lovely sunny, coolish 
days here and are trying to sit outside a little
bit in between various housekeeping chores...
💕👫💕

Have a wonderful weekend
Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse
